If you’re watching the Olympics on NBC you’ve probably seen veteran sportscaster Bob Costas’ eye. It’s swollen, it’s pink, and looks very much infected. “Bear with me for a moment as I spare my friends in the press office countless inquiries," Costas said, before explaining his condition during the Winter OIympics coverage in Sochi, Russia. "I have no choice to go all 'Peabody and Sherman' on you for the next couple of nights since I woke up this morning with my left eye swollen shut and just about as red as the old Soviet flag.”

He went on, “According to the NBC doctors here, it’s some kind of minor infection which should resolve itself by the weekend. If only all my issues would resolve themselves that quickly, but that’s another story.” Nevertheless, his pink eye went viral, and we’ve gathered a few of the funniest memes, jokes, and tweets about Bob Costas’ left eye. Scroll through our gallery above to check them out. (P.S. We’re loving his coverage of the Olympics and wish him a speedy recovery!)
